Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".

[kingfrnk]

If arum really said that, then pac-floyd is something that might just be wishful thinking, because there's no way floyd agrees to the small share. Esp seeing as how floyd feels he's as big a draw as oscar.

I dont think the floyd n pac fight will happen anyway. floyd already said he doesnt need pac at all. he does more numbers in ppv buys than pac and gets more of the money when he fights. and by the way floyd is a wayyyy bigger draw than pac and the numbers prove it.

[the wiz]

I'm sure this is a negotiation ploy, this fight, if it ever happens (I have my doubts) will be a 50/50 fight

It doesn't really matter what Manny did with Dela Hoya!
It doesn't really matter what Floyd did with Dela Hoya!
It doesn't really matter what Manny did with Hatton!
It doesn't really matter what Floyd did with Hatton!
It doesn't really matter what Manny did with Marquez!
It doesn't really matter what Floyd does with Marquez!

Because it would be a Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr Show! It matters what they can do together.

Valid arguments are going to made from both sides of the table. The only way Arum will be able to make the case that Pacquiao is a bigger draw in PAC vs PBF is if PBF vs JMM is a very very poor draw. Less than 300K PPV

Since it's a historic fight maybe it's time to make more history and let the fighters settle who gets the bigger purse inside the ring! 40/40 split outside the ring and winner gets 20 more.

You can't prove any of that! Mayweather Jr. is not an open book. No one knows what PBF really makes. Back up your statements with real verifiable facts! The numbers don't really Prove anything.

[OumaFan]

Wasn't Pac being called out on here by a ton of people for supposedly ducking Ricky Hatton because the negotiations stalled?

All this is just bs, its bluster, the fight will be made at some point unless one guy falls off, there's too much money on the table.

Mayweather vs DLH was more PPV draws then Pacquiao vs DLH

Mayweather vs Hatton was more PPV draws thwen Pacquiao vs Hatton

Mayweather vs Marquez is gonna do more buys then Pacquiao Marquez

That help? Mayweather is a bigger draw then Pacquiao at the box office. Pacquiao is a more exciting fighter but he isn't a bigger draw atm

If this doesn't prove to people that Floyd's not taking the smaller share, nothing will:

Thats because Mayweather is the bigger draw.

He took a smaller purse to fight Oscar because Oscar was the bigger draw. Pacquiao isn't a bigger draw then Mayweather according to PPV numbers so why should he take a smaller purse.

[OumaFan]

this is a 50/50 fight if there ever was one. Mayweather only did slightly better against Hatton in a much better economy (and that was just domestic, obviously Pac does a bit better in the Philippines than Money does) and the way Pacquaio handled Hatton cemented his super stardom, if you don't believe me than you obviously didn't watch Sportscenter anytime in the week or so after the Hatton fight when Manny got more mainstream coverage than any fighter I've seen get in a long time. There is now no bigger star in the game than Manny, Floyd is probably the only one who can match him there.

It will end up 50/50 or around 50/50 (Maybe they agree to Pac getting a little more if he comes up to 147 or the othe way around) and both will make a truckload of money.

And Mayweather vs Marquez is gonna do better then Pacquiao Marquez in a worse economy so whats your point?

I can understand that Pacquiao is a star, he's an exciting fighter, he may be a big star right now but he isn't the bigger draw. I agree with you that this should be a 50/50 split.

Bigger star does not = bigger draw.

Oscar De La Hoya sat on top as the biggest draw in boxing even when he was only fighting once a year but he wasn't the hottest sensation at the time either but was still the biggest draw. Mayweather may not be the hottest star, but he is still a bigger draw.

"I don't fight for bragging rights I fight for cheques" Floyd Mayweather jr

Great stuff. The reality of boxing.

[ElTerribleMorales]

if they wanna go by the whoever is the biggest draw, well from what i've heard it's Mayweather/Hatton had more PPV sales than Pacquiao/Hatton, and judging on how that was each fighters last fight, well i'd say that Mayweather with all of his trash talking is still a bigger draw, but out of respect that Manny is p4p #1 and that Mayweather gave up the claim when he retired, YET never really lost it, it should be a 50/50 split, Floyd was p4p#1 when he took on Oscar and yet got the smaller percentage, so the whole 51/49 or 52/48 is utter crap

[BoomBoom]

I dont like Mayweather. I honestly cant stand the guy and I cant wait to see him dealt his first loss. That said, it should be a 50-50 split. It is only fair. Plus Manny will end up with the lions share anyways cause Floyd will blow at least a half on his purse at strippers and corny music videos.

I rather blow it on strippers than give it away to my fat flip buddies to lose weight

[DaxxKahn]

50/50 is fair and to be honest though PBF is horrible at PPV sales this will be the first fight in my memory where the two best P4P ranked fighters really fight to see who is the best P4P!!!!

This money quibble is just politics and will subside
